To blog or not to blog, was my one big question.
Keeping in touch on line, I thought might be one solution.
Can I reconnect with family and friends with no interruption, follow my blog and check out my life's celebration.

Skills Sunday - Like a twin

When our friends moved to Discovery Bay, we found out that where they live is like going to a resort. They don't really have a backyard with grass or trees, there backyard is actually the bay itself. Their deck has a set of stairs that goes down toward their boat dock which is not being used as they still have to get a boat. Our first trip there was like going on a weekend get away. We packed our bag for an overnight or maybe two nights. While I help my friend to do some unpacking and organizing, Jeff and Gil (my golf buddy) built a work bench in the garage. These guys are like twins in more ways than one. The bench was done before dinner time. When working on a project, they are so coordinated, meticulous and truly paying attention to details. Almost forgot to mention that they are in the same line of work. A month later after our first visit, we were back at their place for another weekend. This time we stayed a couple of nights and the guys started on a bigger project. They were building a shed on the side of the house. After two days of work, the floor, framing and roof was complete. Although Jeff was not there to help Gil finish the rest of the work, he was appreciative of the work Jeff had put it. So here's the finished product. I told these guys that if they were younger, they could be building tiny homes.

Hooray for the CUBS

The World Series Champion Chicago Cubs deserve to win. It was their turn. After over 100 years, they finally have a trophy. For those who watched the nail biting 7th game, it was worth cheering for the Cubs. Although if the Blue Jays was playing, I would definitely cheer for them. The Cubs fan will definitely celebrating for days.

About Me

Retired early to enjoy life. Moved to San Jose, California to join my husband. I love music, sports, sewing, cooking, dancing and poetry.

Why Cranberry Portage?

There is a small town somewhere in Manitoba named Cranberry Portage. My husband's great grandmother owned a small property there. While looking for a recipe, I stumble on a cookbook from Cranberry Portage. During my daughter's recent visit we talk about having a name for our home which becomes a bed and breakfast for our Canadian visitor. She suggested Cranberry Portage and I loved it.So the name of my blog was born.

SPOTLIGHT- My favorite SIL

His name is Mike and I am very happy that my daughter has him in her life. There are so many qualities that Mike has that makes him my favorite son in law. Well, actually I only have one, Mike. One very funny story to share. When my daughter started dating him, she specifically instructed me that I would never shot pool with Mike. The reason behind is that the other boyfriends she dated lost against me at pool, then shortly after, they broke up. So you get it, right. To this date, I have never shot pool with Mike, and I am happy to announce that they are still very much in love and happily married. Happy birthday Mike and thank you for taking care of my favorite daughter.
